Zhou Ruiyuan listened to Du Wanchun's words, thought for a long time, and then decided to listen to her this time.
Although he allowed her to go to Beidi, just in case, he sent two skilled guards to follow her to protect her safety.
Before leaving, Zhou Ruiyuan specifically did not return to the Yamen and stayed at home to accompany Du Wanchun to pack his things.
They stacked boxes of fake gold on the carriage, and also packed some food and clothing. ?.?????.???
Aunt Zhou looked at a golden stone and asked Du Wanchun, "Wangchun, can these stones deceive them?"
Du Wanchun reached out and brushed it gently, "Mom, don't worry, they won't find out."
Aunt Zhou's eyes were full of worry, and she held her hand and said, "Wan Chun, thank you for your hard work this time..."
Du Wanchun gently held the back of her hand and said, "Mom, take good care of your three younger siblings. We will be back in less than a month."
Aunt Zhou took a deep breath, nodded heavily, turned around and went back to the house to pack some more meatloaf for her.
Early the next morning, Du Wanchun, Han Yaner and Wei Xun set off for Beidi together.
Because the car contained a lot of fake gold, in order to convince Beidi's spies, they took the official route.
There is a post station ten miles away from the official road. The post station is guarded by officers and soldiers to prevent bandits from robbing.
Du Wanchun and Han Yan'er both changed into men's clothing to facilitate their journey, and Wei Xun even wore boy's clothes to blend in with the guards.
When they arrived at the first station, Du Wanchun asked everyone to stop and rest.
As soon as they stopped the carriage, they heard a call from afar.
Du Wanchun looked up and saw Zhou Ruiyuan coming on horseback.
He was wearing indigo clothes and let the wind blow up his sleeves.
"Ms. sir, why are you here?" Du Wanchun strode up to him.
Zhou Ruiyuan jumped off the carriage and hugged her into his arms, "I wanted to see you off."
Du Wanchun buried her face in his arms, smelling the faint fragrance of grass and trees on his body, and her heart was filled with warmth. She shook her head and said, "Ms. sir, no need. We left Qingzhou Mansion and headed north. We will be there in less than three days." Arrive at Beidi."
Zhou Ruiyuan hugged her tightly and said, "No problem, I'll take you to the gate of Qingzhou Mansion."
Du Wanchun was choked by him and felt a little breathless. After much deliberation, he agreed, "My husband, I will only deliver it to the door of Qingzhou Mansion."
Zhou Ruiyuan slowly let go of her and said with a smile, "Yeah."
Du Wanchun looked at his smiling face and couldn't help but laugh.
She brought Zhou Ruiyuan into the inn.
This inn is quite good. There are many empty rooms in it. Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan share a room.
The two of them haven't been together quietly like this for a long time.
A few days ago, one of them was busy with disaster relief and the other was busy with road construction. It was already very late when the two of them went to bed every night.
Zhou Ruiyuan was reluctant to torment his wife and slept with her in his arms every night.
I don't know if it was because the two of them were going to be separated for a while tonight, but Zhou Ruiyuan became very clingy.
Du Wanchun was completely unable to resist and was completely defeated.
Fortunately, Zhou Ruiyuan was a sensible person and knew that Du Wanchun would be on his way tomorrow, so he didn't hesitate for too long. Late at night, he held her tightly in his arms and kissed her forehead.
"Wangchun..."
He called her name softly, as if murmuring it in a dream.
Du Wanchun nestled in his arms and responded softly.
Neither of them fell asleep that night. As soon as it dawned the next day, everyone got up immediately and continued on their way.
Du Wanchun was sitting in the carriage.
Zhou Ruiyuan rode in front of him. Every few steps he took, he would look back at the carriage from time to time. His eyes never left Du Wanchun.
In the evening, they arrived at the gate of Qingzhou Mansion.
After passing Qingzhou Mansion and leaving their territory, Zhou Ruiyuan specially took a travel token from Magistrate Li. With this token, Xuanyue Kingdom would let them stay for free at any inn.
Du Wanchun took it in his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, sir."
Zhou Ruiyuan stretched out his hand and gently brushed the broken hair around her ears, and said softly: "Be careful along the way. When you arrive in Beidi, my third brother will go over to meet you."
Du Wanchun nodded and said, "Well, sir, you have to be careful too."
Zhou Ruiyuan reached out and hugged her into his arms, kissing her hair.
